A couple of points. Southern use SDO on 377s at Battersea park on the
up slow and down fast as they are that little bit longer than 455s.
The GPS also has a lot to do with doors being opened in normal use as
well as in SDO mode. This is why part of the testing has involved
visiting every possible platform scenario to make sure it works. As
with some southern locations track side beacons have been fitted where
no satellite signal is available. This is the reason that 12 car 377s
take an age to get door release at victoria. One assumes that if 24
tph with 12 cars happens this issue will be resolved some how.
